Coupons: How do you Organize to Save?

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend!!

This week's mission:

Work on my Couponing Skillzzz

Ya heard.

While it is a bit time consuming, I secretly get a thrill, at even saving $1.

And as hubs says, every dollar counts!!

I have a small coupon holder 

which is now too full and a pain to find anything in!

So, I'm on a mission.

I have a very hard time spending the full amount on something when I can get a % off.

Example:
Michaels Custom Framing.

If I had not had my 70% off coupons, my framing bill would have been $438.

Seriously?

I feel bad for anyone who walks in and pays that full price!!

Where do I find my coupons?

• I get the Sunday paper & swap coupons with a friend.
• Magazines 
• Online 
• E-mails
• Facebook
• Smartphone Coupon Apps
• JoAnns
• Target
• Michaels
• Mobile alerts
• Before going out to eat, shopping, or anything, checkout the company's website & see if there are any deals you can get before you go! Doesn't hurt to at least look.
• If there are items that won't spoil, I will definitely stock up! (Soaps, toilet paper, paper towel)
• I am trying to get better at 'shopping around' at different places, 
• Target, Wegmans, Walgreens, Tops, CVS, & BJ's for better deals

I have found Walgreens to be an excellent place to score deals!

It's also very convenient, as there are no long lines and you don't feel bad taking time with all your coupons!

In February I went to Walgreens and bought this:

 Now, I still have body wash (it's now June!)

The Vitamins were Buy one get one Free

& another $2 off coupon printed at checkout, 

so I went back and bought another!
Still using those!

I have had to replenish dog treats & cascade.

Here's my receipt:

So I spent $55.30 and saved $32.99
My bill was not $88.29!!!! 
How great is that? 

Aaaaaaand, I didn't buy anything we didn't need!!

So, I'm ready to upgrade my organization.

I will definitely update when I figure out what binder/organization method I ended up with.

For now, I leave you with some of my Monday morning researching.

Here's a fab blog that's up to date and has lots of great links for printing:
